What is the curb weight of the Haval Chitu?
1 Answers
Haval Chitu's curb weight is 1560kg, which is the officially announced data. The dimensions of the Haval Chitu are 4470mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1625mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm and a fuel tank capacity of 55L. It is a compact SUV. Vehicle weight refers to the curb weight, also known as the empty weight. It is the weight of the vehicle when all fluid containers are filled to standard levels, without passengers (including the driver) or cargo. This is an important design parameter for automobiles. Heavier vehicles generally have better driving stability, especially during sharp turns and emergency braking. They also tend to be more robust in collisions, with less deformation, making them relatively safer. Lighter vehicles, on the other hand, may have poorer stability, particularly noticeable in curves and at high speeds. In collisions, lighter vehicles are generally more fragile (excluding high-end materials like carbon fiber), with more severe deformation of the steel panels. However, lighter vehicles are usually more fuel-efficient. The curb weight of a vehicle is also a significant factor affecting fuel consumption. There is a direct correlation between fuel consumption and curb weight: the heavier the vehicle, the higher the fuel consumption. For example, for a small car, an increase of 40kg in weight can lead to a 1% increase in fuel consumption.
